1. In the appliance there is a vacuum pressure sensor. If the pressure is not high
enough, the sealing pressure will not automatically start. Check the sealing bar
and the seals for contamination and clean if necessary. Also check that they are
in the correct position and start the appliance again.
2. Check whether the seals are broken or twisted. Put them back in place or replace
them with new ones - SOLIS or your nearest SOLIS-service station can help you
further.
3. Check whether the bag has a hole in it. To do this, seal the bag with some air
in it and submerge it in water. If bubbles rise from it, it is leaking, use another
bag.
4. Possibly the bag is not tightly sealed because crumbs, fat or liquids are in the
welds or because the bag end was not even and without creases. Open the bag,
clean the end of the bag inside and out and the sealing bar and make sure that
the end of the bag is lying completely flat in the vacuum chamber.

2. Some foods produce natural gasses or ferment, such as e.g. fresh fruit and veg-
etables. If you suspect this to be the case, open the bag and check the food. If
it is fermenting, throw the bag away. Temperature fluctuations in refrigerators
can also spoil vacuum packed foods. If in doubt, always throw the food away.
3. Check if the bag has a hole which has let air in. Sharp edges of foods should be
covered or „padded" with folded kitchen paper, so that the edges cannot cause
holes.

Should the sealing bar or the rubber contact seal overheat, the bag can melt. In this
case, open the cover, unplug the appliance and let both of the mentioned parts
cool down for a couple of minutes.
